Peter Ford has stepped down as Sligo senior football manager following the weekend defeat to Donegal in the All-Ireland qualifying series.
He had been in the position for three years after succeeding Mickey Moran in August 2000.

Ford led Sligo to the All-Ireland quarter-finals last year but the county failed to capitalise on that breakthrough this season.
